Olivo de la Bruja

Located behind the Church of Annunciation, this olive tree stands 6 meters tall with a thick, gnarled trunk and productive branches.

This olive tree dates back over 3,500 years to the Etruscan period, making it one of the oldest living specimens in Italy and Europe.

Local tales describe a witch who would dance around the tree every Friday night, eventually transforming herself into a cat with glowing eyes.

The tree remains accessible throughout the year, with optimal viewing conditions during sunset when the trunk's natural formations become more visible.

The trunk displays natural formations resembling faces and figures, including what appears to be a climbing feline and a long-haired woman.
